The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project will host an edit-a-thon at Upenn's Fisher Fine Arts Library focusing on important but underrepresented visual artists, curators and art workers of the African Diaspora on Friday, April 5, 2019 from 1pm-4pm. A training session will be held at the beginning but help is available throughout the event. This event is free.
A special pop up photo studio will be hosted by photographer Mary Osunlana to take free portraits for Wikipedia and document the event.
Please bring your laptop so you can join the editing and bring a friend! The more, the merrier! Snacks provided.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) project creates a space to encourage people of color and women to join the Wikimedia movement while also asking white male editors to focus on gaps in coverage on Wikimedia. Together we will create historical documents that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record.
All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. A brief overview of the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given at the start of the edit-a-thon.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) is an ongoing collaboration between artists Jina Valentine ( Fishantena ( talk)) and Heather Hart ( Heathart ( talk)) which intends to fill holes in the documentation of contemporary art history. In its 13 year existence, the BLT has taken a variety of forms relating to this most recent iteration, in the form of the Wikipedia edit-a-thon. BLT’s aim is the production of discursive sites (at literal and metaphorical lunch tables), wherein cultural producers of color engage in critical dialogue on topics directly affecting our communities. They endeavor to create spaces, online and off, mirroring the activity and creativity present in sites where Blackness and Art are performed.

Suggested artist pages for revision and/or creation! This event-specific list focuses on important visual artists of the African Diaspora associated with UPenn who are under-represented on Wikipedia. Please add a name if you know someone appropriate who needs a page or needs editing. Please do not add an artist who has a substantial page.
